To much influence from the pull dat ball philosophy. Last season he would have crushed that to right center. This year he refused to try to hit the ball where it is pitched.
I never said AA did a good job...imo it was terrible in the end. But we have some things to look forward to. I think we can compete this year and going forward but it will take a bit of work to get some nice pieces to go with what we have.
Donaldson, healthy Travis, Stroman, Sanchez, Pompey, Rowdy, Alford, Vlad Jr (in a few years), Superman dives, Osuna (has he pitched this month?), new manager, new coaching staff....did I miss any?
Total lack baseball knowledge is hurting us every single time when we get a runner in scoring position. I can remember the last time we scored with a guy on 3rd less than 2 outs. And we have had a ton recently.
I can't argue with this. Either they are declining faster than anyone could have guessed or are refusing to adjust to the pitching. Their approach at the plate probably won't be consistent with what the FO wants to do going forward.
